Pulping-engines.-The bronze, steel, stone, or other bars or knives h, Fig. 4, are mounted in slots q in the beater roll p, and are driven against the fixed blades b, Fig. 5, of the cylindrical casing a by centrifugal force. Three forms of engines are described : one for strong papers and long stuffs, of which Figs. 4 and 5 show details ; a second for short fibres and " free stuff," in which the bars h and projections on the bed-plate are thinner, and square, instead of being bevelled ; and a third consisting of a combination of the Brat and second, as shown in Fig. 10, one half of the roll being provided with beater blades as at h, Fig. 4, and the other half with the thinner bars mounted diagonally. The thinner bars h, Fig. 12, are fixed to segments g dovetailed to blocksf fitting loosely between the radial spokes e on the shaft d. The bed-plate may be made of hard lead, with bars of bronze or other material, and cast whole or in segments. Two end plates i are made movable for changing the worn-out bars, and the ends of the beater are closed by plates j and stuffing-boxes k.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Valves for Controlling the Supply of Motive-fluid to Prime Movers.
Filed: 1908-02-06
Granted: 1908-11-12
Abstract: 2699. British Thomson - Houston Co., and Samuelson, F. Feb. 6. Piston valves.-Relates to a valve through which a low-pressure turbine or other prime mover may be supplied with low-pressure steam, and through which, when the low-pressure source of supply becomes insufficient, high-pressure steam may be admitted and expanded down to the proper pressure before entering the engine. Intets a, b are provided for the low and high pressure supplies respectively, a suitable low-pressure source being the exhaust of a high-pressure turbine or reciprocating engine. Valves d, e, mounted on the same spindle A, control the admission to a conduit c supplying the low-pressure turbine. Ducts l in the piston heads e of the high-pressure valve connect the space L with the space K and serve to equalize the pressure on opposite ends. An hydraulic operating-cylinder f fitted with a piston and provided with any suitable fluid supply controlling-mechanism actuates the valve stem A. If the low-pressure supply from the inlet a and valve d is insufficient, and the speed falls, the stem A moves downwards, and the lower piston head e uncovers ports m which admit the highpressure steam at the desired reduced pressure to the main valve casing whence it passes through the valve d into the turbine with the low-pressure supply. The high-pressure valve is also used at starting-up when, with a self-contained plant, no power is available for the air and circulating pump motors until the turbine is running.

Granted: 1909-07-01
Abstract: 14,128. Schubert, M. July 3. Paper tubes.-Paper of a width equal to the required length of tube passes from a roll through suitable severing and pasting devices to a winding mandrel which gives the blank an accelerated motion, the interval thus obtained allowing the wound mandrel to be moved from the winding position and another mandrel to take its place. A suitable winding-apparatus is shown. A series of mandrels a is carried by a disk e to which a pawl- and-ratchet device, not shown, gives an intermittent rotation. The mandrel, being wound, is surrounded by rollers b, b<1>, which intermesh as in Fig. 3 so as closely to surround the mandrel which is rotated by suitable means not shown. The rollers b are arranged in semicircular groups round the periphery of a wheel f, so that as one mandrel leaves one group of rollers the succeeding mandrel engages the next group of rollers. The rollers b<1> are carried on an oscillating arm d, which allows the escape of the wound mandrel. The blank is guided through a narrow slot c between the rollers b<1> by fingers i. The rollers b may be carried on an oscillating arm similar to the arm d, and the rollers may be arranged in more than two groups adapted to recede from the wound mandrel. The finished tubes are removed by withdrawing the mandrels through the disk e, which acts as a stripper, by means not shown.

Title: Improved Means for Regulating the Fuel and Water Supply to Flashboilers.
Inventor: DUGGAN COLLINGWOOD ROSS
Filed: 1908-04-18
Granted: 1909-04-01
Abstract: 21,476. Duggan, C. R. April 18. Atmospheric vapour burners; burners, regulating and controlling.-The fuel supply to a flash boiler is regulated mainly by the position of the water supply valve 74, the rod 68 of which abuts against the end of a rod 63, which operates a needle valve 40 admitting the fuel, by an arm 64 and a crank 62. Further, if the temperature of the steam rises abnormally, a thermostatic device permits steam to press down a piston 97 against the action of a spring 65, thus shutting off the fuel. The heel block 66 for the spring 65 is movable and hand-controlled, so that by moving it against the spring the automatic action of the piston 97 can be cut out and the fuel supply increased, or by moving it with the spring, the fuel can be cut off irrespective of the position of the piston 74 and rod 68 governing the water supply. Specification No. 8648, A.D. 1908, is referred to.
